To all whom t may concern.

Be it known that l, ADoLrH A. Ynnnns, a citizen of the United States,residing at El mira, in the county of Chemung and Statev of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ManifoldingSales-Books, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exactdescription, such as will enable others skilled in the art tovvhich itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to manifolding des.v vices, and-with respect toits more spec1tic features,`to manifolding' salesbooks. l

ihn object of this invention is to provide it la salesbook in which agreater number of ftli ttlll copies may be made of one portion of arecord than of another portion, and more specifically., in whichtriplicate copies of portions of the record `may be made and,

duplicate copies of other portions of the record. e v

A further object of this invention is to yprovide Ya salesbook havingi atranslucent, p as a parchment, triplicate, for only a portion of therecord whereby only such portions of the record as it is desired tocheck are made in triplicate, other portions of said record being` madevonly in duplicata A further object ofthe invention is to provide asalesbook in which the essential portions of the record may be madeintri .licate on a parchment paper without tie necessity of employing ayparchment paper the full size of the sales slip.

Other objects will be inpart obviousand' in'part pointedouthereinafter.,

The invention accordingly consists 1n the vfeatures of construction,combinations of eleter set forth, and the scope of the' applica# mentsand arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in theconstruction'hereinaf tion of which will be indicated in the followingclaims.`

ln the accompanying drawing forming part of this specifcatiomand whereinsimi. l

lar reference characters refer to similar partsr throughout the severalvie-ws,"

'Figure l is a. perspective diagrammatic view of a boolr embodying thisinvention; and

Fig. 2 is a side view showing the sheet arrangement, v v

ln accordance with this invention there is provided a pad l comprising aseries of sheets bound together, as by staples 2, `to a speciacatioaofLeners Patent; armement amm ya, was, Application led April 19, 1917.Serial No. 166,122.

suitable back 3. Operatively associated with sheets l is folded'backupon itself to form two leaves 5 and 6, only one of which, as 6, isretained 'by the staples and the'other. leaf, as 5, being free exceptfor its attachnient tothe sheet 6. 'lhe sheet of transfer material t isconveniently, in the type of book illustrated, bound integrally with thepad on top thereof, in position to be interposed between the leaves 5and 6 of each set successively. rllhe leaves 5 and 6 are preferablyprovided with a weakened line, as a line of perforations?, so that theymay be torn from each other, and a second weakened line 8 is providedfor the leaf 5 to enable it to be torn from'the stub portion of thebook. One or both. of the leaves ,5 4and 6 may bel providedwith one or:more weakened lines, as 9, to enable one portion of 'the sales slip tobe separated from another' portion, asl it is desirable under manycircumstances to send one portion of the -slipvto one department andanother portion to another department. Certain portions. of the record,as for example those concerning the article sold and the price paidtherefor, are of such importance that it is desirable `to have a`triplicate or auditing copy thereof, while other portionso'f saidrecord, as for example, the addresstowhich the Igoods are to be sent,may not require an auditing copy. ln order,.therefore, to 'enable atriplicate copy to be made of a portion of the record, a suitablesheetas of parchment, as 1U, may be operatively associated with theleaves 5 and 6 in suchamanner as to have trans ferred thereto by thecarbon sheet an im-` pression of such' portions ofv the sales recordtill titl

Vas arel desired; ln the vembodiment illu .l strated the parchment-isattached, as by being pasted to the-rear face of the sheet 5 Plont inorder to enable a record to be mad'egonly" ,ofthat portion of-,therecord desired, the

llllltl parchment is attached intermediate the ends of the .sheet-ti,and lies between said ends. 'lhe attached end of the parchment sheetterminates at or adjacent the. weakened ldd llll

the name and address of the person to whom the goods are to be sent, andthe lower portion of the sheet for the record of the goods sold and theprice, and if' desired, also, the name` and address of the person towhom the goods are charged. With a sales slip of this type it is not.required that the name and address of the person to whom the goods aresent be made in triplicate, but it is desirable that the other items onthe sales slip shall be. By reason of the employment of a parchmentsheet shorter than the original sheet, not only is the quantity of theparchment paper which is required reduced to substantially one-half ofwhat would otherwise be required, but furthermore the lia'- bility ofthe parchment sheet to get out of place is much reduced, owing to itsshorter length, and the record on that portion of the sheet, the back ofwhich is not protected .by the parchment, is made on both sides of thesheet, thereby making it diiicult or impossible to alter that portion ofthe record,

as-for example, in order to cause the goods to be sent to a differentaddress.

Thus by the above described construction are accomplished, among others,the objects o hereinbefore referred to.

Asmany changes could be made in the above construction and manyapparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be madewithout departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all mattercontained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawingshall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Itis also to guage used in the following claims .is intended to coverall of the generic and specific features of the invention hereindescribed 'l and all statements of the scope of the invelr tion, which,as a matter of language, might be vsaid t0 fall therebetween.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to Secureby Letters Patent is:

l. A manifolding device comprising, in

combination, a folded sheet and transferv mairial associated therewithwhereby an inscription on one leaf of the folded sheet will betransferredto the other leaf of said sheet,

`and ua third sheet disposed between said leaves so as to receiveimpressions from said transfer materiahsaid third sheet beingiattachedto one ofs'aid leaves between the opposite'en-ds thereof and lyingbetween said ends.

2. A manifolding device comprising, in

be understood that the lan-- combination, a folded sheet and transfer betransferred -to `he other leaf of said sheet,-

and a third sheet of translucent material disposed between said leavesso as to receive impressions from said transfer material, said thirdsheet being attached to one of said leaves between the opposite endsthereof and lying between said ends.

3. A manifolding device comprising, in combination, a folded sheetproviding two superimposed leaves, a double faced transfer sheet adaptedto transfer impressions from one leaf to the one therebeneath, aparchment sheet interposed between said leaves opposite a portion-onlyof the area thereof, attached to one of said leaves intermediate itsends and having its free end lying adjacent to and within the foldingline-of said first mentioned sheet.

4. A device of the character described comprising, in combination, a padcomprising a series of sheets bound together, each s'heet` being foldedback upon itself to form two leaves, a transfer sheet operativelyassociated with said pad and adapted to be interposed between the leavesof each successive sheet, one of said leaves havingl a weakened lineintermediate its ends to permit said leaf to be separated into twoportions, and a. triplicate leaf underlying one of said portions wherebya duplicate record may be. made of inscriptions on one of .said por--tions and a triplicate record of inscriptions on the other portion.

5. device of .the character described comprising, in combination, a padcomprising a series of sheets bound together, each sheet being foldedback upon itself to form two leaves, a transfer sheet operativelyassociated with said pad and adapted to be interposed between the leavesof each successive sheet, one of said leaves having a weakened lineintermediate its ends to permit said leaf to be separated into twoportions, and a triplicate sheet attached to said leaf and terminatingadjacent said weakened line whereby a duplicate record may be made ofinscriptions on one of said portions and a triplicate record ofinscriptions on the other portion.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature. in the presence of twowitnesses.
